Should I stay or should I go?
I have been with the same company for 7 years (a university staff position )and have been promoted from Buyer to Sr. Buyer in that time. I was recently approached by a recruiter and subsequently offered a position at another university (management) that would be a promotion and bump up in pay close to $30,000 The PTO, insurance, and sick pay are pretty even between the two universities. Here is my issue. I told my boss the same day I was offered the position and he and the university treasurer both asked if I would stay if they could come close to matching the offer. I am currently at a smaller private school and the new job would require a 450-mile move to an area that is more expensive, to work for a much larger state school. I have a lot of autonomy as to what I work on now but I would lose that and would be a member of a team that would be solely focused on the medical scientific contracts and spend.
The team, I am currently on a jump from 5 people to 30. I am currently 100% remote and would be 97% remote in my new position. I have relationships with all areas of my current campus and have worked directly with the board and top leadership another thing that would be different in the new position. I am still waiting for the dollar amount from the counter offer but I have to make a decision in two days and am struggling to decide.

Consider staying if they get within 50% of what you have been offerred at the larger university. Due to your moving cost and cost of living it may take you 2-3 years or longer to recoup the move.
If it's ambition thats driving you and you don't see your current job getting you to where you want to be in your career, then consider leaving.
Oh wow, I didn't realize how long ago this post was. What every did you decide???
It’s great that your current employer wants to retain you. Wait for the dollar amount, but give your current university a deadline. You obviously can’t wait indefinitely.
Here are some factors to help you decide what to do:
If you stay, will you receive the management promotion as well as the pay increase? And do you want to be a manager or are you mostly concerned about the rate of pay?
If your current university makes you a similar counteroffer, where will you be better off financially, after you factor in living expenses?
Are you happier at a smaller school with a more diverse job, or are you excited about the prospect of working with a larger team on a bigger campus?
So my current employer offered half of the current offer and no title change.
I don’t think that your current employer came close enough. (That’s often the case.)
If you want a promotion and a pay increase, take the new job — provided that it is generally a good move for you and your family.
Consider work/life balance because after reading your post, it seems that you have this in your present job and would be giving up what your hard work has earned you decided to accept the job offer.
I should also add my youngest graduated during the pandemic so kids/school is not a concern. It would be me my dogs and my 20-year-old if she wants to come. It would be a 9.8 increase if I lived in the city with the university but the cost of living in a nearby suburb is close to my current cost of living. I'm not afraid of being replaced if I stay because I handle a lot in my current position and have saved my boss a few times when he dropped the ball. To keep this in perspective my current employer has a student body of 8,654 the new school has a student body of 43,820. And for anyone that believes in signs the new school or state I might be moving to comes up in every conversation I have had since I received the offer and I have not told a single person about it. I just fished a call with a supplier who told me they are going to be off next week visiting their mom in the same city as the new university. Weird
Go with the signs from the Universe and take the new job — especially as your current employer has not made a good counteroffer.
If your kids stayed or plan on staying local, there's a lot to be said for being close if they have kids. So I would suggest adding that as a point of consideration. I would be willing to give up a lot to follow them if my kids moved my grandbabies away from me.
